I’d booked the 2 hour tour, and so we had plenty of time to see the (bit smaller) Festival of Lights features. The guide was very chatty, and knowledgeable, but had his own theories about climate change, Putin’s sanity etc so I had a great evening of banter with him. As we had some spare time I’d asked for a couple of detours (eg to the site of a past dictator’s bunker) so I felt the extra length trip was worth it. By the way, although the evening wasn’t particularly cold, as we whizzed along, it could get chilly if you’re not suitably wrapped up.

Overall very enjoyable. I was unaware that the bike lights would have to be turned off frequently so as not to annoy other people viewing the installations. Had I known that would be an issue I certainly wouldn't have paid extra for it as it didn't add to the experience for me. Guide was good and made sure I saw all the installations. Was happy to have the blankets by the end!
